NIAGARA FALLS, NY – The Destroyer Dick Beyer has done and seen many things in his 84 years on this planet including winning the world wrestling championship. On Friday, July 25th, the Destroyer donned his trade mark white mask with red ribbing and his white wrestling boots to conquer one more obstacle — he rappelled 27 stories down the side of the Niagara Falls’ Seneca Casino to raise money for the Special Olympics of New York.

The event was aptly titled “Over the Top” by the Special Olympics organization and featured local celebrities and people who raised thousands of dollars for the opportunity to rappel down the building. In true Destroyer fashion he took his campaign public and raised over $10,000 for the organization.
